He Watches Over Me

 

Psalms 121:7-8 NIV

The LORD will keep you from all harm— he will watch over your life; the LORD will watch over your coming and going both now and forevermore.

There is an old hymn called Blessed Assurance and the first line says "Blessed assurance, Jesus is mine".  When I reflect on what the  Lord does for me I realize that I blessed assurance.  I have the knowledge and confidence to know that Jesus is watching out for me.  He is keeping me from all harm.  Not some, but all.  

 This means He is watching over me as I drive to and from work. He is protecting me on the highways.  He is protecting me when I come into contact with a server who presents themselves with an attitude.  His Spirit tells me to stay calm and to remember whom I am representing.  He is watching over my reputation.

He watches over me in my classroom, protecting me and my students from negativity.  He is watching over my children and my husband as they go about their day.  He watches over me everyday, all day.  Who wouldn't serve a God like that.  

And its all because I have Jesus.  God gave me His precious Son who died on the cross for my sins and rose on the third day winning the victory over death.  As a result I can experience peace.  I do not have to worry about what's coming because God has me completely covered now and forevermore.
